Default Choosing the aisle could keep you healthy

The 'ole airplane seat & health debate. Nothing that really hasn't
been printed before.

NEW YORK - Mulling over the window or the aisle seat on your next
flight? Pick the aisle to help avoid dangerous blood clots — and
flying business class will make no difference, according to a U.S.
study.

A review of medical issues associated with commercial flights found
that in-flight medical events are becoming more common as more elderly
people and those with pre-existing medical conditions fly and also
flights last for longer.

But researchers from the U.S.'s Lahey Clinic Medical Center confirmed
that sitting in the aisle can help ward off potentially dangerous deep-
vein thrombosis or blood clots.

They found that 75 percent of cases of deep-vein thrombosis were due
to people not moving enough and most sufferers were in non-aisle seats
where passengers tended to move less.

DO Not Fly.

Take The Roads.

They ARE NOT Unionized.

God Bless America.

Right - that explains the twelve workers standing around
the pothole being filled in, while one guy lazily shovels
patch material into it.

I'm not a particular fan of unions, especially now, but your post is
pretty bizarre and inane.
